So how exactly does this happen?

Products protected by BioCote® anti-microbial technology will
negatively affect bacteria that contaminate the surface through:

Protein damage: Proteins are essential for the
biological systems of life. Any damage to these
components causes the failure of essential functions
such as energy production.

Cell membrane damage: By disrupting the microbes membrane, its structural integrity is compromised, which
can cause essential nutrients to leak out and catastrophic structural failure.

Oxidative damage: Antimicrobials can cause increased levels of reactive oxygen species, which result in damage
to the internal systems of the microbe.

DNA interference: The genetic material of the bacteria is disrupted, ultimately stopping the bacteria from being
able to replicate by blocking the copying of their genetic material.
